I went the old receiver route. Just ordered the Sony STR DE545, thanks for all the help, looking forward to testing it out.

Quote: I've already been doing that to listen to normal CDs...I'm more curious if that specific receiver will allow me to use RCA cables between the SACD player (in quote). (Sony STR DE345)   EDITE: In order to play SACD through multichannel 5.1

I'm curious if anyone is familiar with these bookshelf speakers. My dad had a pair in the closet so I hooked them up until I plan on upgrading to a 5.1 setup. I'm curious how much better/worse my setup would sound if I bought another pair of Boston HD7, with a sub, and center speaker to make my...

Bump, there's one on craigslist so I'd like to know if it would work before it's gone.

So this.   You would plug in the analog RCA cables from the SACD player to the inputs on the far left...then speakers are attached on the far right? All the speakers would have the weird cables that you strip yourself except for the sub, right?(As you can tell I'm not very savvy when it...

Cool test, vote in spoiler below    I'd propose we do this test again, but with no poll. Someone merely posts the files, then votes are sent through PM to the user and clocked without everyone being able to see. The only posts in the thread would be to acknowledge you voted, not how you...

Quote: Hmm....that could be a serious problem. Here's the RCA jacks I was speaking of    So if I were to plug in 5.1 speakers into those jacks, they wouldn't work?

Quote: This is a really excellent article, well done.

Well the 555 is, in essence, the same thing as the 595, which is the step up from the 555. They apparently have the same drivers (here's the mod for 555>595 ). Where is was going with the 555 mod was that is the next "step" in the Sennheiser ladder, the next would be the 598. Then you hit the...

Howdy folks,   I'll be 18 next year and was thinking of heading down to Austin for ACL. If anyone has gone I was just curious as to how the experience went for you, and if you had any advice on getting tickets, places to stay, ect. I've never really gone to concerts except some smaller stuff...

  Quote: Interesting thought. Do you really need a receiver that has multichannel inputs? My SACD player has RCA inputs on the back where I assume you could just plug in 5.1 speakers  

Quote: Thanks, would really like to keep this thread alive for the sake of SACD discussion. I'm in the process of picking out 5.1 speakers right now. (leaning towards these Yamahas)

  Quote:   Stereotyping is fun. Apparently ALL adults are ignorant.    see what I did there.  

Quote: Thanks, I've never really listened to any of it so I thought I'd give it a try.  

Quote: (quoted weirdly) Never really listened to Dubstep...what is considered the 'purist' stuff?   

I'm sure someone has pointed this out. Kinda Funny.     EDIT: just saw a comment mentioning head-fi, haha.

Quote:   Yes, not sure what I was trying to say, meant RS. Wow, the PS500 looks pretty crazy. I'm not sure I'm up to that price tag yet, but I'll keep an eye out for used ones. What exactly is the advantage of the PS500 over the RS2? Better drivers, warmer sound, soundstage?   EDIT...

I've really been leaning towards the 325s. Just curious, how giant of a difference is there between say....the 80->325->RF2?   Overall I can gather that the higher you go they seem to be brighter/more detailed.   If I were to buy the 80s then I would likely look into modding them, not so...

Quote: If only Andy could see himself now.   

Quote: More than likely. How much do you think Best Buy pays for each 800? >700 I'm guessing?    

Quote: I don't think they exist? The "studio" in the name is referring to the one where they take the photos AFTER the album, not before the mixing/mastering process.
